Except now.
Britain's National Environmental Research Council has asked the British Public to help name the new 100 million polar research ship which will set sail in 2019.
1600 names have been nominated and voted on.
In third place is famous British naturalist David Attenborough. In second place is Antarctic explorer Henry Worsely.
But if voting were to close today, the British Public has picked
RRS Boaty McBoatface as the winner for the name of the ship for this serious mission.
We are not amused.

If you are such an Anglophile how come you never write about the English Premier League, the most important thing the UK exports around the world?
The article doesn't say if there were any qualifications for voting. It looks as though only Trump supporters were allowed to vote.
Another DBT fan, in Miami? I feared I was the only one.
